Polly's Bread and Butter Pudding
I ususally serve this with hot custard but it's equally good cut into slices and eaten cold.

- 275ml (10fl oz) milk

- 2 level teaspoons mixed spice

This is English BREAD Pudding !!! not Bread & Butter Pudding. Bread pudding is like a heavy wet fruit cake and Bread and butter pudding is a light custardy "nursery" pudding which must be eaten warm. (I am English) - 10 Sep 2001 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I'd like to try this recipe but have no clue what the ingredient "mixed spice" would be. Can anyone help? - 15 Jan 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Very good, though us Brits make the dessert with slices of bread, buttered, cut in triangles and set upright in the dish. This recipe works both ways and is very tasty. Add different dried fruits for variation. Comfort food at its best! - 22 Feb 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
